There was an earlier post about direct to disc recordings which peaked my interest. I've heard some good and some not so good in the past.  After doing an eBay search, A Cut Above! came up and a copy found it's way to my place.

The is a later Dave Brubeck playing with his three sons.  Not all of the tracks do it for me but a couple are really stand out. Forty Days-Sermon on the Mount is fantastic. Darius Brubeck plays snyth and these tracks really pull you in, highly recommended.  The second is their version of Take Five. The original has always been a favorite of mine but this is special.  The Take Five is on YouTube and linked below.

Saw that quartet at Mills College around 1977-78 (where my ex went to school). Great show.
